Optical illusion puzzles have become a recent passage of entertainment. These puzzles require interesting, concentration, and interesting ways to check and improve mental agility in detecting hidden objects, decoding samples or identifying abnormalities. The illusion are fascinating images that emit tricks on our eyes and challenge how we decide what we are seeing. They illustrate the distance between reality and awareness, proving that, quite often, our senses cannot draw a full picture. By doing so, they remind us that awareness is subjective and often misleading.
This is today’s challenge
Such an attractive optical illusion contains a mesh of numbers, 76, randomly dispersed in a uniform model. However, in this seemingly unified net, there are some 79 hidden so well that even a sharp observer needs to think quickly to detect it. At a glance, the net may appear too hard. The homogeneity of the number 76 repeated throughout the image can create a monotonous feeling, cheating the brain only see one thing. This is where the illusion performs its work, hiding 79 unified models. The brain, used to recognizing repetitive string, struggles to detect deviations quickly.
How to solve this?
Instead of trying to look at the entire image at the same time, divide the mental net into smaller parts. Focus on a part at a time to avoid overwhelming feeling. The key to detecting 79 is to find something that looks a bit different. Pay attention to the distance, shape or link of numbers, as 79 can stand out subtly. Why is it so difficult to find hidden numbers? The answer to this lies in the way our brain processes information. When it constantly sees similar models, our brain generalizes and filters out all the details that are unnecessary. That is called cognitive narrowing, which is very useful for daily habits but not completely good when found abnormalities.
